Import Tips
• Verify the lock is explicitly for furniture use via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to general padlocks under 8301.10
• Include detailed CAD drawings or installation guides in documentation to prove furniture-specific design
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese base metal locks; source from certified suppliers with origin certificates
